My cousin James challenged me to document my year by taking at least one photo a day.

Here's where I'm putting them.

Once again, something is blooming in my yard and I have no idea what it is.

  1. It looks like a type of dogwood maybe?

  2. Oh, really? There's a pink dogwood out there that's just gorgeous, but its blooms look really different (aside from being a different color.) Maybe I should read a book on plants or something.

  3. I was just guessing on the dogwood. I'm not very good with flowers either. It looks really familiar, so it's gotta be something fairly common.

  4. I had really expected Linda to have commented by now, telling of our ignorance with her flower knowledge. how disappointing.

  5. Ha! Liz I have been too busy with company/Family Feud to read blogs. It's definitely not a dogwood. Their blooms have 4 petals - like a cross. That's why people have thought that Christ's cross was made of dogwood. We'll leave that discussion for another time.
    I cant' tell if that is a bush rather than a tree but if it is a bush it is a snowball bush which is either a hydrangea or a close relative. Does it look anything like the no-longer-existing bush from your parents' backyard?

  6. The blooms do look like hydrangea, but it's definitely a tree.
